- IFS Self Energy, Made Practical
Self energy — a core concept in Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems — refers to the innate calm, curious, compassionate core that exists in every person beneath their reactive parts. IFS holds that healing happens through parts experiencing the presence of Self, not through willpower or technique. The "8 Cs" (calm, curiosity, clarity, compassion, confidence, courage, creativity, connectedness) describe its qualities. Evidence for IFS overall is growing but limited in controlled trials; Self energy overlaps with well-studied mindfulness and self-compassion constructs. - Begin the day with a brief Self-check
